HAKKAISAN KOUWAGURA DAIGINJO
だいぎんじょう はっかいさん こうわぐらじこみ ／ DAIGINJO HAKKAISAN KOUWAGURAJIKOMI
Daiginjo
This is a clean sake free of unfavorable flavors, just like snow-capped Hakkaisan.
The specially selected sake rice is polished to a 40% ratio, then prepared during specific time in winter. The sake brewed with kurabito's (brewers') absolute commitment is matured slowly.
It has a soft mouthfeel and an expansive flavor.
